Chapter 16 Wanhua Tower
??
Su Ze reached out and pulled Su Wen into his arms, saying, "I want to open a brothel! What do you think?"
Open a brothel!
Suwen was stunned.
Su said with a smile, "You all say that if we poach the Four Beauties of Qinhuai to be the signboard of Wanhualou, it will surely become the number one den of extravagance in Jiangnan in time, and making a fortune every day is not a dream."
He clenched his fists and said, "What do you think of this idea?"
"not good!"
Suwenpo shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Ye looked at her in surprise.
Suwen said seriously, "Liu Lang, you are now a respectable person, why do you still want to go back to that kind of business?"
Although she was a prostitute, she was unwilling to do this kind of work.
Suwen continued, "Liu Lang, I don't want to open a brothel!"
She finally managed to jump out of there, how could she possibly go back!
Suwen seemed to have some resistance to this matter.
Liu Ye smiled and said, "Of course we don't need to do it ourselves. We can just leave the work to others. We'll just be responsible for collecting the money in the background."
In fact, he had long harbored this ambition to open a brothel.
When the time comes, we'll definitely build a huge passageway, lay out a red carpet, and have the ladies change into cheongsams and line up on both sides, showing off their breasts.
When the guests arrived, they all bowed in unison.
"welcome!"
What kind of scene would it be if all the girls were dressed in cheongsams?
The thought of this made Liu Ye's heart immediately burn with excitement; the tingling sensation was simply unstoppable!
Under Liu Ye's constant guidance, Su Wen had no choice but to agree to his idea of opening a brothel.
...........
The four most famous courtesans gathered at the Wan Hua Lou!
The news immediately caused a sensation in Hangzhou's entertainment circles.
People spread the news far and wide.
The moment Wan Hua Lou opened, it attracted a huge crowd. Not for any other reason than the reputation of the four famous courtesans, people had to come in and see for themselves.
The four most famous courtesans of Jiangnan were not people that everyone could see on a regular basis.
"Go to Wan Hua Lou, they're having a grand opening sale!"
People flocked to the Golden Phoenix Tower.
The magnificent decor and imposing facade immediately attracted the interest of scholars and literati.
The number one building under heaven!
The five large, gleaming golden characters immediately dazzled everyone's eyes.
Majestic!
I just don't know if he's bragging.
Two rows of well-dressed men stood outside the gate, all wearing blue robes and small hats, their postures ramrod straight.
"Esteemed guests, please come in!"
The greeters were also exceptional, unlike those vulgar brothel madams and pimps.
Upon entering the Wan Hua Lou, the first thing that catches the eye is a wide red carpet passageway lined with nearly a hundred beautiful women in cheongsams.
"welcome!"
One hundred beautiful women bowed in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, the hems of their cheongsams slightly lifted, revealing their long, slender legs.
A hundred women vied for attention, their beautiful women in elegant cheongsams creating a dazzling spectacle.
Shocked!
That's amazing!
Before they had even seen the four famous courtesans, the welcoming party of a hundred women had already stunned everyone.
They had never seen anything like it before.
One hundred beautiful women, each with their own unique charm.
Whether tall or short, plump or slender, with charming smiles, they are like orioles and swallows.
Walking on the red carpet is like being surrounded by flowers.
Scholars and literati saw the different postures of the women, while ordinary people stared at the beautiful legs revealed under their cheongsams, their hearts already filled with fervor.
Appreciate both the refined and the popular!
Before even seeing the four famous courtesans, this welcoming party of a hundred women has already made a splash.
The Wan Hua Lou is indeed a grand affair. Putting aside the fact that it's the best in the world, the sight of a hundred women welcoming guests is simply breathtaking.
Especially considering the beauty of these hundred women, they would definitely be top-tier beauties in other brothels. The fact that Wan Hua Lou sent out a hundred of them at once truly made other brothel owners envious and jealous.
The image of a hundred female greeters was borrowed by Liu Ye from a famous entertainment venue in later generations, in order to achieve a powerful effect.
At the far end of the welcoming area is a huge solid wood bar, where four or five pretty women stand.
"Welcome, this is the Wan Jin Lou service desk."
A pretty young girl with delicate features patiently explained with a warm smile.
"These are our consumer items. Every single one is clearly written down, ensuring fairness and impartiality, and no deception of the young or old."
Another girl pointed to the list of consumer items on the back and explained.
"We only accept membership cards for purchases here. We do not accept cash such as silver coins or banknotes. So if you want to come in and make a purchase, you need to apply for a membership card first."
The third girl smiled and said, "We operate on a membership system here, with two types of members: VIP Gold Card members and regular Silver Card members. VIP members have a Gold Card, with a minimum top-up of 5,000 taels, while Silver Card members have 1,000 taels. We're having a grand opening sale now, so there are discounts for new members and great gifts! Don't miss this opportunity!"
The fourth girl smiled and said, "This is a membership application form. Just fill in your personal information and you can take it to the back to get a card. Let me tell you a secret: these girls in the front hall are just greeters; the ones in the back are even prettier."
This is just the welcoming gesture; there are even more beautiful ones to come.
Upon hearing this, everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued.
"I want to apply for a gold card."
"I want two silver cards."
"I also want……"
Hangzhou is a prosperous city with abundant resources and a wealthy population. It is no exaggeration to call itself the number one city in the world.
In just half a day, Wan Hua Lou issued nearly a thousand membership cards, raking in hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Those who got their membership cards rushed into the back courtyard to make purchases, nearly breaking the door for those who heard the news later.
"Liu Lang!"
Suwen approached Liu Ye with an account book in hand and said softly, "This is all the accounts for the first day of Wan Hua Lou's opening."
Liu Ye smiled and said, "Since I've handed it over to you, I won't interfere anymore."
Suwen felt a warmth in her heart, nodded, and said, "This servant understands."
Soon after its opening, Wan Hua Lou caused a sensation throughout the Jiangnan region with its unique business model, grand decor, and luxurious lineup of courtesans. Visitors flocked to the establishment, making it exceptionally busy every day.
Here, you'll find the four most famous courtesans from Jiangnan, as well as women from all over the world. There are women from Persia, Kucha, Loulan, Mongolia, Korea, Japan, and all sorts of other ethnicities, and even Western women who have come from the sea.
It was a place that appealed to both refined and popular tastes, dazzling the eye and making people linger. Many high-ranking officials and nobles even lived there, indulging in sensual pleasures every day and forgetting all about home.
Soon, the reputation of the No. 1 restaurant in the world spread.
Many admirers travel thousands of miles to Hangzhou, hoping to spend a night of pleasure at Wanhua Tower, but the tower is always packed with patrons.
The immense popularity brought Wan Hua Lou a booming income, to the point that security guards from nearby money shops would come to collect cash every day.
In just one month, they earned nearly a million taels of silver just from selling membership cards. Becoming the number one establishment in Jiangnan is just around the corner.
Suwen exclaimed in admiration, "Liu Ye is truly a divine being!"
